The large inflow of investment capital in critical periods sparked a debate about the extent to which these speculative bubbles affect asset volatility and how (and what extent) these volatilities are transmitted between them. In periods of greater uncertainty, commodity futures markets may receive and/or send two types of volatility spillovers: intergroup of assets and/or intragroup of assets. We tested for the period from March 3, 2000 to May 4, 2017, which of the two effects prevailed and in which group of assets was more intense. We concluded that the most relevant volatility transmission effects (measured by Diebold–Yilmaz indices) occurred intragroup of assets — corn, wheat, soy, oats and rice. These assets make up the main cluster of a commodities complex network. Thus, we detected and measured using network approach that the most significant effects was over the years of the Great Recession (2007–2009) and the peak of the European Sovereign Debt Crisis (2010–2012).

This study examines whether the investment behavior of securities dealers is consistent with the predictions of the house money and break-even effects. Using the stock portfolios, dealers hold in Taiwan from 1996 to 2013 as a sample, we test the relationship between trading gains/losses and subsequent changes in portfolio risk. The results show that only gains with low risks, not all gaining situations, cause subsequent risk preferences, and regardless of the size of the trading loss, there is not a significant change in subsequent risk. Controlling dealers’ characteristics, industry competition, and the stock market condition, the evidence shows that the house money effect on dealer behavior exists after earning low-risk profits and does not support the break-even effect. These results are qualitatively unchanged after robustness checks that primarily exclude dealer overconfidence effect and ensure that the risk-taking behavior under low risks results in a decrease in gains and thus not a rational behavior.

The paper investigates the impact of financial integration and energy consumption on economic growth in Vietnam during the period 1986–2017. By applying the Autoregressive Distributed Lag ARDL) approach proposed by Pesaran et al. [Pesaran, MH, Y Shin and RJ Smith (2001). Bounds testing approaches to the analysis of level relationships. Journal of Applied Econometrics, 16(3), 289–326.] and the bounds cointegration test, the empirical results show the existence of long-term cointegration among all the variables, and that an increase in financial integration leads to an increase in economic growth in the long run. There is a positive impact of energy consumption on growth in both the short run and long run. The causality test of Toda and Yamamoto [Toda, HY and T Yamamoto (1995). Statistical inference in vector autoregressions with possibly integrated processes. Journal of Econometrics, 66(1–2), 225–250.] confirm that there is bi-directional causality between the pairs, financial integration and economic growth, and energy consumption and growth, which support the feedback hypothesis. However, there is only uni-directional causality from energy consumption to financial integration. The empirical results should be of major empirical importance for public policy decision-makers to plan sustainable development goals for Vietnam.

In this paper, we analyze the impact of savings withdrawals on a bank’s capital holdings under Basel III capital regulation. We examine the interplay between savings withdrawals and the investment strategies of a bank, by extending the classical mean–variance paradigm to investigate the bankers optimal investment strategy. We solve this via an optimization problem under a mean–variance paradigm, subject to a quadratic optimization function which incorporates a running penalization cost alongside the terminal condition. By solving the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation, we derive the closed-form expressions for the value function as well as the banker’s optimal investment strategies. Our study provides a novel insight into the way banks allocate their capital holdings by showing that in the presence of savings withdrawals, banks will increase their risk-free asset holdings to hedge against the forthcoming deposit withdrawals whilst facing short-selling constraints. Moreover, we show that if the savings depositors of the bank are more stock-active, an economic expansion will imply a greater reduction in bank savings. As a result, the banker will reduce his/her loan portfolio and will depend on high stock returns with short-selling constraints to conform to Basel III capital regulation.
